Plugin uses a default environment color. But there was a mistake, which was black by default. I have fixed this on last demo. But still will be needed to set it on unclean install. You can set it in "octane settings->environment color".

To be more clear, please confirm it's a environment issue by default environment color. Create a octane sky with some gray texture. You can easily create from Live Viewer -> objects. Also change defalt environment texture color from settings->env section
